I think subscription music is coming from Apple, definitely. It's just a matter of when. In fact, I think Apple is going to make The Apple Channel, with unlimited music, TV shows, and movies for a flat fee. No more cable, netflix, or rhapsody required. It could be huge.

But I just noticed I misread this. The question is if it will exist by July 7th, not June 7th. So that messes me up a little :) If it's announced at WWDC and then rolls out 3 weeks later, than I lose big time.

I took out a massive position saying no, so that pushed the numbers down. WWDC is on the 9th of June, so the store would have to be announced before the conference. While that's not unheard of (they pre-released all sorts of stuff before Macworld, and WWDC isn't a consumer show), I don't see it happening in the next month.

Or at least, I'm hoping it doesn't so I can win this bet ;)
